A new chapter for the In Situ Collection

We are proud to announce that Arbore by Carel is now represented by Galerie Philia, one of the world's leading galleries dedicated to contemporary collectible design.

This partnership marks an important milestone for our brand and for the In Situ Collection, designed in collaboration with architect Cezar Moldovan. Through Galerie Philia's international network of collectors, architects, interior designers and design enthusiasts, the collection will now reach a broader global audience across Europe, the United States, Asia and beyond.

Collectible design with architectural roots

The In Situ Collection was conceived as a series of architectural objects that blur the line between furniture and sculpture. Rather than following trends, each piece explores proportion, materiality and permanence.

Designed by Cezar Moldovan and handcrafted in Romania by Carel Woodworks, the collection is produced in carefully controlled quantities using solid wood, stainless steel and natural materials. Every object reflects a dialogue between contemporary architecture and traditional craftsmanship.

The collection includes:

  • Luna Dining Tables
  • Luna Chair
  • Enclave Shelving Unit
  • Kafka Lounge Chair & Sofa
  • Scarpa Coffee Table
  • Monolit Side Tables
  • Pontos Wall Sculpture

Each piece is intended not only to serve a function, but to become a lasting presence within an interior.

Why Galerie Philia

Since its founding, Galerie Philia has established itself as one of the most respected names in contemporary collectible design. Representing internationally recognized designers and artists, the gallery is known for its carefully curated exhibitions and collaborations with leading architects, collectors and institutions around the world.

For Arbore, partnering with Galerie Philia means joining a platform that shares our belief that furniture can be both functional and deeply expressive.

It also places the In Situ Collection alongside works from some of today's most influential voices in collectible design.

A shared vision

Both Arbore and Galerie Philia believe in timeless design, exceptional craftsmanship and objects created to endure.

This collaboration allows us to continue investing in meaningful design while bringing our work to new audiences who appreciate authenticity, material honesty and architectural thinking.

It is also an opportunity to further establish Romanian craftsmanship on the international design stage.

Looking ahead

This partnership represents the beginning of an exciting new journey.

As Arbore continues to grow internationally, we remain committed to creating furniture and objects that celebrate craftsmanship, natural materials and thoughtful design. We look forward to sharing new pieces, exhibitions and collaborations in the months ahead.

We invite architects, interior designers, collectors and design enthusiasts to discover the In Situ Collection through Galerie Philia or explore more on our website.
